Transportation and traffic engineering define his professional focus, supported by more than 30 years of experience in civil engineering with specialization in roadway design, traffic operations, and transportation safety, including a 30-year career with a state transportation agency. His expertise includes accident investigation and reconstruction, roadway geometrics, intersections, drainage and hydraulics, geotechnical and soil analysis, signage, speed studies, and traffic congestion analysis, along with experience in bridge-related work, culvert replacement, roadway paving, and post-seismic structural inspections. His work reflects comprehensive knowledge of transportation systems and roadway performance across a wide range of conditions and environments.
His work also includes significant academic and instructional experience, with multiple years teaching transportation and traffic engineering at the university level. His teaching has covered accident investigation, roadway design, traffic operations, ADA compliance, and traffic modeling, reinforcing his ability to analyze complex engineering issues and clearly communicate technical concepts. His broader experience includes conducting traffic studies, analyzing accident data, evaluating compliance with engineering standards, and assessing roadway design and operational decisions, including design immunity considerations.
Forensic engineering work includes more than 15 years of experience as an expert witness in transportation, traffic, and civil engineering matters, providing consultation, expert reports, depositions, and trial testimony. His casework includes investigations of motorcycle and vehicle collisions, pedestrian incidents, roadway conditions, and drainage-related accidents, as well as evaluation of roadway design standards, safety measures, and infrastructure performance. He is a licensed professional engineer and holds a bachelor’s degree in civil engineering, with additional formal training in transportation and traffic engineering, including roadway design, traffic safety, accident investigation, ADA standards, and traffic modeling.
His professional background includes a 30-year career with a state transportation agency in progressively responsible leadership roles, including executive-level positions overseeing maintenance, traffic operations, and program and project management. In these roles, he directed large multidisciplinary teams, managed substantial operational and capital budgets, and held decision-making authority over project scope, cost, and schedule for major infrastructure programs. His experience includes oversight of roadway maintenance operations, traffic safety programs, speed studies, traffic modeling, intersection design, and implementation of safety and operational improvements, as well as leadership during emergency response situations involving natural disasters and large-scale incidents.
